Serving The College And Community Friday, November 16, 1984 Possible Legislation Could Cut Federal Aid "A major piece of legislation" effecting a "severe" cut in federal student aid funding may hit Capitol Hill in February or March, according to Fr.

Ryan, S.J., executive vice president for academic affairs here. by Paul Dennee Said Ryan, "If the only part of the budget that is to be touched in order to balance it is (domestic) programs, then I would imagine a very severe cut/' Federal legislators, in an attempt to balance the federal budget, will convene to set a multiple year ceiling on all domestic programs including financial aid to students. "In the Republican platform," Ryan pointed out, "there is a statement that the Reagan administration is proposing . . . that there be (only) one loan program (and) one grant program. This is the same (plan) that Reagan wanted Federal money currently supports four loan programs, two grant programs, and a college work-study program. Besides a possible bill to toughen eligibility standards for the work study program, other bills may attempt to consolidate the loans and grants to save money. "I want students ... to be prepared to start writing letters and calling the White House." Under the consolidation of grants into a single one, Ryan fears that public colleges and universities would extend a strong lobby against a tuition-sensitive grant, thereby pulling money away from the independents. Ryan said that he and Mr. Anthony Bellia, the college's financial aid director, will be testifying in Congress against cuts in student aid. "We have to argue very strongly (for) freedom of choice for students and that tuition must be considered because of the massive subsidy that state taxpayers give to the public colleges and universities." Of the,two grant programs, the Pell and Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, the latter is particularly valuable to independent schools, according to Ryan.

He has proposed a concept that would have a football field and a soccer field built adjacent to each other, rather than using the same surface for both. Alexander feels that this is necessary because the use of only one surface by ail the teams would cause overcrowding on the field. Besides planning for a twosurface facility, Alexander has proposed two different concepts in order to implement the plan. One concept would be to construct the facility in an east-west orientation, which is the same plan that has been proposed by Koessler Athletic Center Director Paul Bieron. The other concept would be to build the fields in a north-south direction, which Alexander says would be best. However, with this plan, the track that would be built around the football field would not be regulation size (as is the case with the other plans as well), and the soccer field for men's games would not be legitimate, as it would only be between 300-310 feet in length.
